Building wealth and achieving financial security are important concerns for everyone, but many communities face distinct challenges in reaching these goals.

Through conversations with community leaders, elected officials and advocacy groups, U.S. Bank has listened, learned and identified areas where the need is greatest. We’re working to bridge the wealth gap across diverse communities including Hispanics/Latinos, women, Blacks and LGBTQ+ communities.

Helping Hispanics work toward financial success

The Hispanic/Latino community believes that hard work pays off now and for future generations.1 However, there are both societal barriers and cultural beliefs that may hinder their progress toward financial security.

Our financial resources, education materials and wealth specialists can provide guidance to help manage the needs of today while planning for tomorrow.

Personal financial literacy for Hispanics and Latinos

Cultural beliefs about money can hold some Hispanics back from financial success. Here are five ways you can build a lasting financial legacy.

Investing myths: Separating fact from fiction in investing

Latinos most often describe themselves as savers vs. investors.2 Investing myths—such as saving is more important than investing—can get in the way of making investing part of your financial plan. These tips can help you uncover the reality of investing.

Multigenerational household financial planning strategies

For Hispanics, financial success comes with financial responsibility for their extended family and community. If you’re supporting multiple generations, these strategies may help you prepare for current and future expenses and work toward everyone’s financial goals.

Women and money

Many women are taking charge of their money and have more financial power than ever before. However, our research shows they don’t engage with their finances as much as men and show lower levels of financial literacy.3

Even if it’s just a conversation about salary with your friends, both formal and informal education can be empowering.

Resources to support LGBTQ+ financial freedom

There are specific barriers between LGBTQ+ individuals and financial equity. That’s why financial planning can be particularly useful for working toward your goals.
